A very pleasant ending. I really like the fact that Haruhi gets to be the one who saves the day. Well, sort of. Tamaki still ends up saving her from drowning but without her revelation to Tamaki, Tamaki will probably left the country.

I won't go into specifics but...
-eclair cancels haruhi's debt
-tamaki got engaged because the grandmother would accept his mother and let him meet her
-eclair tried her best to keep him away from the club and its members
-kyoya called tamaki's house and talked with shina she told him he was leaving for paris and they see him in a sports car with eclair
-they go after him but are stopped by the ohtori secret police the twins and haruhi leave in the carriage while the others stay and fight
-hikaru gets injured and kaoru goes to check on him haruhi remembers her father's advice and goes after tamiki herself
-she catches up and calls him an idiot and that the club needs him after he says he was only causing them problems
-haruhi gets tossed off the carriage and off the bridge tamaki wants to go after her but eclair tries to stop him after she sees it's useless she lets him go and he thanks her
-after the members reunite, later that night they all take turns dancing with haruhi while tamaki and kyouya's father talk about the situation with the tornerres, they end their conversation after kyoya's father says haruhi will marry into his family and tamaki's father says that won't happen
-and in the end the club members watch the fireworks go off in the night sky

Well Im pretty impressed with the ending. Pros was the Club is back together! That was my only true concern, that and everyone finding out haruhi was a girl which appears that now everyone knows that...shocker, didnt see that coming. Also I was kinda surprised to see how mad Hikaru got when Kyou said Tamaki was going to France but he's always had a harder time hiding his feelings I guess

As expected, Haruhi was the one to bring Tamaki back. I guess the HaruhiXTamaki fans would want a kiss or something, but the embrace was probably as close to a HaruhiXTamaki ending as we could get. And the part at the end with the fathers talking about Haruhi becoming someone's bride was great. Overall a good ending to a great show, though I miss the comedy elements a lot.

I'm really glad that the ending is not very definite, although this episode was pretty much screaming "HARUHI X TAMAKI FTW!!!!" which I've lost some support for compared to teh beginning... for some reason. I guess it's because I always felt that he wasn't worth Haruhi although she likes him...

But I must say the way Haruhi caught up with Tamaki was so ridiculous it was... funny. I mean it was all very dramatic and nice and "!!!!!!1" but well, ... that's animu, I guess That's Ouran.

I'm going to really miss this show though. I think I liked the balance of drama nad humour, although the humour admittedly did go off occasionally (esp. in the middling episodes, except 13 which was brilliantly produced). I guess I'm guilty of wanting another season (although maybe 13 instead of 26 eps)

Wohoo! I loved watching the raw. Thanks for the pics guys! Man what a great open ending. I hope they do a season 2 sometime soon, maybe as the manga goes further ahead with the plot? Sigh, but i'm a bit sad its ended for now...but heres hoping there is more in the future. Oh and I am a Haruhi/Tamaki fan so I was thrilled seing Haruhi go after him like that. Go Haruhi!

Let's say I wasn't satisfied with this ending and I wanted to read the manga. Where do I start from where the anime ends off?

Hmm... the manga is available in the US from Viz, through vol. 7. And coincidentally, the anime sort of covers the manga through vol. 7, although the Manga has some differences, and a few stories that were omitted from the anime. Most notably, the festival arc is completely different, and the pre-festival 'fight for the central salon' arc isn't in the anime, which is shame, because it's very funny. Also, Renge doesn't play nearly as much of a role in the manga as she does in the anime, which is kind of a shame.

One good thing-- Viz is pretty good about releasing new volumes every other month. The translations are a little funky in places, but that's par for the course.

Of course, Episode 26 proves who the real King (or is it Queen?) of the Host Club is-- and if you doubt at all, the last image they show is Haruhi in the King's chair at the Host Club. (Which we really knew all along.)

I wonder if girls visit Haruhi at the Host Club for the same reasons still or different now... The final episode didn't have a blatant announcement of Haruhi's gender. Those fawning girls in the background of the dance scene could've thought that Haruhi merely stuffed socks down the front of her dress for a Host Club pseudo-homohomo show. XD

Oh, come on - how dumb could those customers be? Even somebody as far from reality as Tamaki recognised that she is a she in one day, surely a year is enough for all of them to find out that Haruhi is a girl, although a very unladylike one. Not that it mattered to them...

It doesn't really matter either way. As Renge would say, either way she could probably eat five bowls of rice worth. But considering how they're fired up like in episode 23, I'd say they think Haruhi is cross-dressing... and that would maybe add another bowl or two of rice for Renge and her moe rangers to voraciously devour. XD

"Just repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should really just relax..."

Well the twins do say that Haruhi is in cosplay so I dont think the customers knew anyways. Since the final scene is Haruhi in reg Host clothes they probably still think she's a guy.
